Going really well. 2 months and down almost 55 pounds. Feeling amazing. I had a really rough first 2 weeks but it wasn't the sleeve. I got really sick from antibiotics. Long story. Lol. How exciting. I'm here if you have any questions. Do you currently work out?

I wish I could make a walking group but I don't have a car. I need someone between Fairfield and Sacramento to be my support/walking buddy and to take me to my mandatory Bariatric support group. I still have not gotten the surgery because my dad cut me off and the insurance went with him. But soon I'll have money to buy my own insurance at least for a year and a half so this is my 3rd time trying I refuse to take no for an answer. I need gastric bypass asap because my health is getting worse due to my weight.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
